Actually, it was a Reader's Digest collection - nobody admits to editing those. What that also means is that the stories were probably chosen for their simplicity anyway.
The hardboiled title got picked just because I spotted the term on the EQMM site - I hadn't seen it for ages despite a liking for stories of that kind.
